alt Hacker News> DuckDB is a huge pile of C++. I don't see a RIIR taking off before AGI.
While I'm not a big fan of rewriting things, all of DuckDB has been written in the last 10 years. Surely a rewrite with the benefit of hindsight could reach equivalent functionality in less than 10 years?
the sqlite RIIR is going quite well: https://turso.tech/blog/beyond-the-single-writer-limitation-...
(sqlite is quite a bit smaller than DuckDB tho)
